Born in Douai in 1086, then in the County of Flanders and since 1668 in France, he studied in Paris and afterwards returned to Douai to teach theology.[1] Goswin then entered Anchin Abbey in 1113, in Pecquencourt, near his hometown, and became a Benedictine monk. In 1130 he was made abbot of Anchin Abbey.[2]
Goswin died of natural causes in 1165 at Pecquencourt.
